This is my first ever thread although I have been on mumsnet for years. My question is AIBU to be pissed off about this?
Started taking my DD age 4 to library, a big deal as she has suspected ASD and hates new places. Anyway the librarian there seemed nice but a bit over bearing. My DD doesn't like new people but we encourage her to try and talk her through it etc
The woman just doesn't stop pestering my DD and offering stickers and stuff, I know she means well and so we smile and try to be polite.
The things is, she keeps saying in a jokey way she will punch my DD in the nose 😳 I'm on the verge of saying wtf and then I don't. AIBU in thinking you can't say this to kids no matter how badly u want their attention or how bad your social skills are?
My little girl actually said no mummy I'm feeling shy! And hid. For her to articulate her feelings in that way is a big deal for her and it takes a lot for her to face new things.
Maybe this is a WWYD..... I don't know if it's a let that go the woman is trying.... or is it as rude and unnecessary as I think?
Goes a bit like:
Do you want a sticker?
Aw you can come and colour in?
No? Why don't I read u a book?
By which point my DD will say no thank you or mummy!!
And she goes oh ok how about a punch on the nose. 🤔
